According to the Shargh Media Group,
Houshang Naserpour, a taxi driver from Borujerd, sat behind the wheel as usual on a normal morning to bring halal bread to his family; but he was martyred in the Israeli regime's missile attack on Tajrish Street.
Mehr News Agency - Provinces Group: There was a commotion in the busy streets of the capital. No one thought that a simple, unassuming, unassuming taxi driver would become a defenseless and innocent victim of the enemy's aggressive attacks in the middle of Tajrish Street. Martyr "Hooshang Naserpour", a man from the hearts of the people, was immortalized in the Israeli missile attack on Tehran.
Every day, the beginning of service; that day, the beginning of immortality
As always, early in the morning. "Hooshang Naserpour" sat behind the wheel of his taxi. He was from Borujerd; from a land that has repeatedly given great men to the country. He left home to earn a halal living, to take a ride in the bustling city of Tehran.
But this day was not like other days. On the other side of the border, a hand was on the trigger. And in Tajrish, somewhere among a crowd unaware of fate, a missile came and aimed at an ordinary man, without asking for what sin?
Houshang Naserpour was martyred. Not on the war front, not in a military barracks, nor in combat uniform, but on a street of work and life… An ordinary person in the middle of an ordinary life…
Borojerd, the city of lovers without borders
When the news arrived, the people of Boroujerd embraced the lifeless body of their son with tearful eyes and hearts full of sorrow.
The funeral ceremony for the holy body of the martyr “Hooshang Naserpour” was held with unparalleled splendor. People had come from different neighborhoods of the city; with black flags, with slogans in honor of the martyr and in condemnation of the enemy.
He was just a taxi driver...
He was just a taxi driver; he was my cousin. He worked in Tehran for years; a quiet, unpretentious, hardworking and compassionate man
Among the mourning crowd, one of the martyr’s relatives, in a voice filled with resentment, says of Houshang Naserpour: “He was just a taxi driver; he was my cousin. He worked in Tehran for years; a quiet, unpretentious, hardworking and compassionate man. That day, as always, he started his car to take his wife and child out for dinner… but he never came back.”
Among the grieving crowd, a young girl who is the martyr’s niece, shouts with tearful eyes: “The public was always silent… the public was always oppressed. A quiet, unpretentious, unpretentious man…”
A silence full of screams
When reporters asked the martyr’s brother to talk about Houshang, he just kept quiet. He didn’t say a word. He just cried. He says in a Lori accent, "Ai Barar," and tears well up again. Tears that come from the depths of his soul are heavier than any words and more eloquent than any interview or speech.
Expectant mothers, children in their arms, veterans with canes, and grieving fathers had all come to bid farewell to someone who has now become a symbol of oppression against the enemy's aggression.
Days of Sorrow
Amidst the crowd, lamentations, slogans, and mourning mingle. Borujerd has gone through days of sorrow in recent weeks. On July 2, martyr "Amirsertab Alihossein Mohammadi," commander of the armored brigade of the Abuzar Sarpol Zahab garrison, was given an unprecedented funeral and buried in his hometown.
On July 23, the body of the martyred Brigadier General of the IRGC, Meysam Moazzami Goodarzi, was escorted from Safa Square to the Burial Ground of the Martyrs of Borujerd with a significant presence of people.
Earlier, the high-ranking martyrs, Hamidreza Roozbahani, Abbas Piriaei, Iman Goodarzi, Hossein Naqdi, and Masoumeh Pirhadi, were also buried.
The city is going through days filled with tears and pride.
National Unity, a People’s Response to Enemy Aggression
The funeral of the martyrs in Borujerd was not just a farewell ceremony; it was a cry from the hearts of the Iranian people. The people declared with one voice: “The aggression against our land will not go unanswered.”
Many people emphasized in an interview with a Mehr reporter: “If necessary, we are also ready. This land still has defenders.”
Up to this point, Borujerd has dedicated eight martyrs to the defense of the homeland. These martyrs sacrificed their lives for the homeland in the Zionist regime’s aggressive missile attacks on Iran.
Missiles Don’t Ask Who You Are
But this is not the end of the story. The martyrdom of “Hooshang Naserpour,” a simple taxi driver, showed that the enemy has closed its eyes to everything. In the logic of missiles, there is no difference between a taxi driver, a military commander, a nuclear scientist, or a child in a mother’s arms.
Hooshang Naserpour was neither carrying a weapon nor wearing a military uniform. He was neither an official nor a political figure. He was just an ordinary citizen, an honorable man who went out into the crowded streets of Tehran every morning to provide for his family.
But the missiles that hit the Iranian capital made no difference between the front and the home, the soldier and the worker, or the battlefield and the Tajrish crossroads.
Bombs don’t ask who you are; they don’t ask for jobs, they don’t recognize uniforms, they don’t want badges of honor; they kill alone.
And this is precisely what has brought the people of Iran together: the awareness that everyone, without exception, is a target… and everyone must stand up.
This awareness is what creates unity in the hearts of the nation. On the streets of Boroujerd, Tehran, Tabriz, Isfahan, and Ahvaz, people know that innocent blood awakens the soil and that the path of the martyrs does not live on in their names alone; it continues with resistance.
The people of Boroujerd, Houshang’s neighbors, his family, and all those whose hearts beat for this soil know very well: Although the enemy is “blind,” the nation is “awakened.”
